' exact description of the'saine, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same,- reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

My inventionrelates to an improvement? in hydrocarbon burners, shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly pointed out in the following specification and claims. The object of-my invntioln. is to plovide a device adapted especially foiuse in cooking stoves or ranges, though it ix'aybe employed equally well in connection; with heating stoves or furnaces.' 5'

One of the features of the invention is to provide means for defiecting the dame from the burner toward the water. front employed in a range to heat @thel` kitchen or range boiler, or oward of the oven, when usi i the'game in baki 0'. Another feature of i e invention consists in so constructin thx; retort or vaporier and burner that t e burner may be readily hereafter appear;`

disconnected from the' retort or vaporizer to be4 replaced by one of larger or smalIer capacity as may be required'.

Another featureof the invention consists 1n dproviding a plate inserted in lieu of the or inary grate, having openings for the passage of air to the burner and means for supporting the latter.

Another feature is the means employed t initially heat the burner to generate gas.

Other advantages and imprc'wements will I n the drawings ficationz--Fig'urel is'an fend vation of a range with partsbroken await. and vin section showing the burner in position in the fire-box. Fig'. 2 is a side elevation of a range with the burner in crosssection and 5 showing in dotted lines the deiectoradjusted to project the flame toward the water iront or oven. Fig. 3 is a pers ective view of the burner and theplate emp oyed in lieu of the usual grate, i 4 is` a. perspective view of the generatin evice.

Referring no1! efletters of reference 'wall i L is a plate of sheet metal supported at: the bottomof the fire-box' in lieu of the grate i accompan i this spe'ci-- placed upon the vdiaWin'gs:--A denotes a shown) j and D the oven.

E 1s a burner consisting of a section of pipe perforated at e for the passagev of gas and provided at one -end with a closure cap E.

F 1s a retort or vaporizer located directly above the burner, consisting of a pipe havthe burner E by means of a coupling G. The vapor1 zer F is illustrated asa straight pipe overlyingthe-burner but it is obvious that nthe vaporizer may .be coiled or of any suitable shape. c

= Ris. @nick .Sup .te-.iliilth Wire frameerance letters, the const-riictionfandiopera# tion of the burner will be .readily understood. The valve I-is first operated to deliver a small volume of oil from the supply tank to the burner E, the val'veisthen closed, and the Wick N of the generating device placed under the burnerf'a iii' 'f catedniii range; B its fire-box; C a hot water front connected with the usual range boiler (not ing at one end a goose-neckv f connected-to M is a devicefor nitialy heating the Having indicated he sverlipartsgby refopenings-the' end. walls being recessed to Y dotted lines in Fig.1.V Upon th'eburner belng heated suliciently to convert the oil contamed therein-,to gas, the latter is ignited 0r vaporizer F over the flame of the burner.

When itis desired to heat the water front connected with the range boiler, or the oven for bakin would be fleted,-the rockerarm K is manually operatedthrough'the handle K', which being operably connected with both of the deectorsJ, J, the latter are simultaneously adjusted. so as to'project the flame of the burners either toward the Water front, or toward the oven as may be desired.

- Having thus described. my invention, what Ijclaim is 1. In a device of the character described, a vul'ner tube having discharge ports, a vafrom the burner tube and having communication with the latter, a source of fuel suply communicating with the vaporizer, de-

ectors located above the discharge ports of the burner tube,"`a'nd an operating'shaft having connection With-the defiectors for ysii. so

multaneously swin ing the same whereby urner tube may be projected in 'different directions as required.

2. In a device of the character described, a ,burner tube having discharge ports, a vaporizer located directly above theburner tubevand having communication with the latter, 'a source of fuel supply having communication with the vaporizer and through the communication between the burner tube and -vaporizer with, the burner tube, dellectors located above the discharge ports of the burner tube, means for simultaneously swinging saidA deiectors whereby the flame i purposes,-'more quickly than it eated if the flame were not so de porizer' located `directly above but spaced' from the burner tube may be projected in different directions as' required, and an operating handle lfor the deflector swinging means.

' 3. In a device' of the character' described, a burner tube consisting of a sectionof pipe closed at one. end and perforated 'for the passage of gas, a lvaporizer located directly above and spaced from the burner tube and communicating therewith, a source of fuel supply for the 'vaporizer, -a valve for controlling the delivery of fuel to the vaporizer,

swinging disk defiectors suspended from the vaporizer above the gas discharge ports, and a manuall operated rocker arm connected with theefle'ct-ors for adjusting the latter in either direction as required.

4. In a device of t-he character described, a

burner tube, a `vaporizer overlying the burner tube,a source of fuel supply for the vaporizer and burner tube, dectors swinginglymounted on the vaporizer, and means for impartin 'a swinging movement 'to the deiiectors, said swinging means.. including a. rock shaft operatively connected with each defiector. y

5. In ahydrocarbon burner having discharge ports for the passage of gas, an inclosure for said burner, swingingly mounted deiiectors disposed above the dischar ports, an oscillating shaftvconnected to t e deilectorsjor swinging the same, said shaft being journaled in one of the Walls of the inclosure' with one end of the shaft projecting Wit-hout the inclosure for manual operation.

Inl testimony'whereof, I sign this :pecifi-I cation in the presence-of two witnesses.
